Dak Or Dakul






         Dak or Dakul belongs to the Damru Family. The shape of the Dak or  Dakul is similar to the shape of the Damru, but bigger in size sometimes. It is played to create a horrifying  atmosphere.
          The body of the Dacca or Dakar is made of an hour-glass frame with vellum drum heads. The heads are usually of calf skin, tied to hoops on both sides and braced and tightened  with ropes. It is struck only one side either by hand or by stick. The cords are pressed and released in quick succession to give varying degrees to tension to the skinheads effecting changes in tonal sound.
        The Dak or Dakul is mainly used by the medicants and jugglers of the Bhuva community. These Bhuvas play the Dak or Dakul at the time of elimination of the elements like ghost etc. Dak is also played while Observing tantrik-cult.
